Almond Berry Smoothie Recipe

This Almond Berry Smoothie is a refreshing, creamy, and nutritious drink packed with antioxidants from the berries and healthy fats from the almonds. It's a perfect option for breakfast or a snack to energize your day!

Ingredients (Serves 1-2):

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt for a vegan version)
  • 1/4 cup raw almonds (or almond butter for a smoother texture)
  • 1/2 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen; strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, etc.)
  • 1/2 banana (for added creaminess and sweetness)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, depending on your sweetness preference)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for extra flavor)
  • Ice cubes (optional, for a colder smoothie)

Instructions:

  1. Blend the Ingredients:

    • Add the almond milk, Greek yogurt, raw almonds (or almond butter), mixed berries, banana, honey (if using), and vanilla extract to a blender.
    • Blend on high until smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.

  2. Adjust Sweetness:

    • Taste the smoothie and add more honey or maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter smoothie.
    • For a thicker smoothie, add a few ice cubes and blend again.

  3. Serve:

    • Pour the smoothie into a glass.
    • Optionally, top with a few extra whole berries or sliced almonds for garnish.

  4. Enjoy:

    • Drink immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors and creamy texture!

Tips:

  • Extra Protein: Add a scoop of protein powder or a tablespoon of chia seeds for an extra protein boost.
  • Vegan Version: Use plant-based yogurt and sweeteners like maple syrup for a vegan-friendly option.
  • Nut-Free: If you have a nut allergy, you can replace the almonds with sunflower seeds or oats for a different flavor and texture.

This Almond Berry Smoothie is a delicious and nutritious way to start your day or keep you fueled between meals! 🍇🍓🍌🥤✨
